Rapid Coating Cell

The RC Series (Rapid Coating) is AltForm’s solution for high-throughput laser cladding, engineered to deliver industrial precision and speed in large-scale manufacturing.

Originally developed for automotive brake disc coating, the RC platform sets new standards in efficiency, repeatability, and process control, supporting continuous 24/7 production with minimal maintenance.

Designed around laser-based surface treatment technology, each RC cell ensures uniform coating thickness and superior adhesion, extending component life and reducing environmental impact by replacing conventional coating methods.

Available in multiple configurations: RC Proto, RC Flex, and RC Fast, the system adapts to different production volumes, from R&D validation to full-scale automated lines.

Every RC cell integrates closed-loop powder management for safe handling and consistent material reuse, ensuring maximum productivity and operator protection.

While optimized for the coating of brake discs to meet Euro 7 emission standards, the RC Series can be customized for other metallic components requiring high-speed surface treatment, such as rotors, rings, valves, or wear-resistant industrial parts.

Benefits

  • High-speed, automated coating for brake discs and metal components
  • Consistent, repeatable surface quality
  • Closed-loop powder management for safe, clean operation
  • Scalable configurations from prototype to mass production

Applications

  • Automotive brake disc coating (Euro 7 compliance)
  • Industrial components requiring wear or corrosion protection
  • Energy and machinery parts needing durable functional coatings
